The most famous clarinetist is probably Benny Goodman. He primarily played jazz and swing music, although he played classical music as well. Because of the popularity of Goodman's popular music, it would be difficult for a purely classical player to be as famous.

A great band leader and a pioneer in music. ===================================== To expand, Benny Goodman was the most famous Clarinet player of the Swing Era, and arguably was matched in talent only by Artie Shaw.
